Berlanti, meanwhile, remains one of the busiest producers in television, with nearly a dozen shows either on the air or in the works.

CBS also handed out a number of other series orders on Friday.

"Fam," a multi-cam comedy starring "Vampire Diaries" alum Nina Dobrev; "God Friended Me," another Berlanti drama; and a "Magnum P.I." reboot all got the greenlight as the network prepares to present its fall schedule to advertisers next week in New York City as part of the annual Upfronts.
